Keep workers safe when guiding steel trench plates into place with the Trench PlateMate from the Bradley Blume Corporation. As a trench plate is lifted over the trench by a backhoe or excavator, a worker must maneuver the end of the plate into place – usually with their hands or feet – which puts them in close proximity with not only the heavy steel plate, but also with the equipment and with the open trench itself. The Trench PlateMate features a tag line connected to the plate with a magnet, which is then attached to a 4-foot handle, allowing the employee to guide the plate into place from a safe distance. A T-bar handle with custom rubber grips ensures comfortable operation, and a 450-pound magnetic base keeps the PlateMate attached to the plate while it is in motion.
